Water Sifu #8 – Fluoridation: Safe and Effective ….Really??? (part 3 of 4)

Fluoride, Safe and Effective? [http://www.thewatersifu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/safe-and-effective-e1439427885593-150x150.jpg]http://www.thewatersifu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/safe-and-effective-e1439427885593.jpgFluoridation – Safe and Effective  ….Really??? [http://traffic.libsyn.com/thewatersifu/WaterSifu_8_Fluoride3Effects.mp3] (click to listen in a new window) Part 3 of 4, This episode will focus on the “safe and effective” aspects of water fluoridation.  I ask the questions… “Is it safe?” and “Is it effective?” on the way to answering the ultimate question, “Is it worth it?”.   Among the evidence brought out is a chart graphing the decline of dental carries [http://www.fluoridealert.org/who-dmft.htm] in both fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities around the world and an essay titled “Why I Changed My Mind About Fluoridation [http://www.slweb.org/colquhoun.html]“, by Dr. John Colquhoun, a previous  Principal Dental Officer from  New Zealand.  We discuss fluoridation studies, covering information published by the CDC’s scientists [http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5014a1.htm], and further discuss ways that pro fluoride groups have perverted evidence [http://www.holisticmed.com/fluoride/nobenefit.html] to further their cause.  Also discussed are the side effects of fluoridation, including accidents [http://www.actionpa.org/fluoride/chemicals/accidents-us.html] as well as risks of exposure to infants, citing the ADA’s own manual (the link has since been removed since recording the podcast) which states that infants should not drink fluoridated water. Finally, several  individuals, groups, or countries which oppose water fluoridation are mentioned. Ralph Nadar [http://www.slweb.org/nader.html] Dr. Paul Connett:  50 reasons to oppose fluoridation [http://www.fluoridealert.org/50-reasons.htm] EPA’s Union of Scientists and Engineers [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLgKeHOgneQ] (You Tube video) This eye opening podcast is a must listen. https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewatersifu.com%2F2010%2F09%2Fwater-sifu-8-fluoridation-safe-and-effective-really-part-3-of-4%2F&linkname=Water%20Sifu%20%238%20%E2%80%93%20Fluoridation%3A%20Safe%20and%20Effective%20%E2%80%A6.Really%3F%3F%3F%20%28part%203%20of%204%29https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/mastodon?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewatersifu.com%2F2010%2F09%2Fwater-sifu-8-fluoridation-safe-and-effective-really-part-3-of-4%2F&linkname=Water%20Sifu%20%238%20%E2%80%93%20Fluoridation%3A%20Safe%20and%20Effective%20%E2%80%A6.Really%3F%3F%3F%20%28part%203%20of%204%29https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewatersifu.com%2F2010%2F09%2Fwater-sifu-8-fluoridation-safe-and-effective-really-part-3-of-4%2F&linkname=Water%20Sifu%20%238%20%E2%80%93%20Fluoridation%3A%20Safe%20and%20Effective%20%E2%80%A6.Really%3F%3F%3F%20%28part%203%20of%204%29https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewatersifu.com%2F2010%2F09%2Fwater-sifu-8-fluoridation-safe-and-effective-really-part-3-of-4%2F&title=Water%20Sifu%20%238%20%E2%80%93%20Fluoridation%3A%20Safe%20and%20Effective%20%E2%80%A6.Really%3F%3F%3F%20%28part%203%20of%204%29

Water Sifu #7 – The History of Fluoridation (part 2 of 4)

History of Water Fluoridation [http://www.thewatersifu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/water_Fluoridation_1945_beginning-150x150.jpg]http://www.thewatersifu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/water_Fluoridation_1945_beginning-e1439427786311.jpgWater Sifu #7:  The History of Fluoridation (Part 2 of 4) [http://traffic.libsyn.com/thewatersifu/WaterSifu_7_FluoridePt2-Hist.mp3 ] (click to listen in a new window) The History of Fluoridation is the subject of this weeks episode.  In an attempt to fill in some huge gaps in the history of fluoridation, as told by promoting groups, I delved deep into this subject.  My research took me into some pretty creepy and unexpected places.  From the influence of big business in early research and promotion, to the selling of fluoridation to the public, to growing trends against fluoridation, this episode is an eye-opening, must-listen-to, podcast. Some great links to view, along with this podcast are listed below: (Unfortunately, since recording the podcast, many of the pro or neutral posts about fluoride have been removed from the government sites originally linked.) The Fluoride Deception: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3y8uwtxrHo] This is a three part you tube video (this link will take you to part one)  which explains in depth the connection between fluoridation and big business from it’s very inception. The following link has been removed since recording the podcast.  I can no longer find any reference to water fluoridation on the National Institute of Health’s website:  Although this article conveniently leaves out any reference to ALCOA, or any mention of Gerald Cox, who was the first to actually suggest fluoridation of the drinking water supply (see History, in the CDC Manual on fluoridation:  Link in show notes for part one), this is the best history statement I have found as told from a pro / neutral standpoint. https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewatersifu.com%2F2010%2F09%2F194%2F&linkname=Water%20Sifu%20%237%20%E2%80%93%20The%20History%20of%20Fluoridation%20%28part%202%20of%204%29https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/mastodon?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewatersifu.com%2F2010%2F09%2F194%2F&linkname=Water%20Sifu%20%237%20%E2%80%93%20The%20History%20of%20Fluoridation%20%28part%202%20of%204%29https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewatersifu.com%2F2010%2F09%2F194%2F&linkname=Water%20Sifu%20%237%20%E2%80%93%20The%20History%20of%20Fluoridation%20%28part%202%20of%204%29https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thewatersifu.com%2F2010%2F09%2F194%2F&title=Water%20Sifu%20%237%20%E2%80%93%20The%20History%20of%20Fluoridation%20%28part%202%20of%204%29

Water Sifu #6 – Water Fluoridation: The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread, or an Unnecessary Evil?

Water Fluoridation Discussion [http://www.thewatersifu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/flouride-e1439427640967-150x150.png]http://www.thewatersifu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/flouride-e1439427640967.png Water Sifu #6:  Water Fluoridation Part One [http://traffic.libsyn.com/thewatersifu/WaterSifu_6_FluoridePt1.mp3] (click to listen in a new window) Water fluoridation has long been a hotly debated topic.  This episode of The Water Sifu will discuss my initial thoughts about the fluoridation of drinking water, what I found when I first started looking into it that really shocked me, and how I’ve been completely pulled into researching this very intriguing topic.  This was originally intended to be a one week show, but I quickly found out that a one week show is just going to be impossible to do, if I am do do this subject any justice.  So, this will be the first of four shows which will chronicle my research into water fluoridation.
